Jonas Propheta 2
1 Et oravit Ionas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis.
And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.
2 Et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me: de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. (Sheol h7585)
And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 Et proiecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.
And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.
4 Et ego dixi: Abiectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum: verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.
5 Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.
6 Ad extrema montium descendi: terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus.
I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.
7 Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea ad templum sanctum tuum.
When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.
8 Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt.
Those who in vain observe vanities, abandon their own mercy.
9 Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino.
But I, with a voice of praise, will sacrifice to you. I will repay whatever I have vowed to the Lord, because of my salvation.”
10 Et dixit Dominus pisci: et evomuit Ionam in aridam.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
